Advanced driving course
 
The thread started by light got me thinking...

How about we group together and propose to Toyota SA that all 86 owners get a day of skid pan and track experience :drool:

* It would be a great way to promote the brand
* Safer/skilled 86 drivers would reduce the chances of fatal accidents - Toyota wouldn't want the 86 to be known as a "widow maker"

Good idea! I was at their driving academy the other day and one of teh guys from Toyota seemed keen on the idea/

I'm up for that :thumbup:

I think it would be a great idea - my one skidpan outing revealed how unforgiving these cars can be, and that there is so much more to be learn't...

:thumbsup:

I'm also keen on this.

sounds like a great idea. waiting for the skidpan event next weekend but im dead certain, i need alot of help learning about her.

Theres a few places that offer it but most dont offer "in your car training", either that or i've been reading wrong.

Im keen on joining in on a course, heres hoping.

Next step is to contact some TSA employee to help make this happen. Preferably someone on the same wavelength as Tada San. :D

If you have that kind of contacts mate, I'd be there like a bear

Get a hold of Leo Kok. I've spoken to him via Twitter and he seems to be a bit a of a petrolhead. I think he is in the events department.
